Grenadian Soca artiste Devan The man brings a confident, sensual vibe to the 2026 season with his latest Groove Soca release, "Chemistry."

 

Sometimes, the best thing to do is nothing at all—just sit back, watch, listen, and take it all in. The work done is pristine, just to allow you, our dear fans, to experience it all. 

 

That’s precisely how we felt watching this.

 

Voice, alongside Dwayne Mendes, Mikhail “Mega Mick” Corneal, and International Stephen, breaks down the making of one of the biggest songs for Carnival 2026 in Trinidad.

 

We’ll let the video do the rest.

From the YouTube video by A Millien Concepts:

We did another song check with Aaron "Voice" St. Louis, who released the infectious crowd favorite "Cyah Behave" as part of his Carnival 2026 soca repertoire. The song made waves during the season despite being one of the later releases thanks to its vibrant yet melodic style. Some have even dubbed this tune the "People's Choice," having been one of the top Roach March contenders this year. Enjoy the behind-the-scenes recount of how it all came together—the journey of the song's evolution from the original composer of the song Dwayne Mendes to the A&R International, Stephen, who got it into Voice's hands, to the entire Production Team that were part of the creative process

Calypso has always spoken to every corner of our lives—politics, humor, social truth, celebration—and today we’re shining a light on another side of the tradition: the love song. This genre is far more than Carnival fire; it holds tenderness too, stories of devotion, affection, and the quiet honesty of the heart.

 

From the album Just for You, this gem stands as one of Stalin’s most tender offerings—a man speaking straight from the heart, loving his woman fully, freely, and without reservation. No pretense, no performance, no demands. Just love… because she is who she is.

 

If we learn to love and live this way, there will be peace on earth. Today we have a world that often asks people to change. Stalin reminds us of something simple and deeply human: Real love sees you. Real love accepts you. Real love stays.

 

Such individuals are rare, much like this master lyrical teacher whose delivery is gentle yet assured, exuding an unmistakable warmth that defines him not only as a calypsonian but also as a storyteller of our everyday humanity. Calypso addressed everything, and today we choose to show that love songs are also part of the genre. “Just The Way You Are” is a reminder that affection doesn’t need decoration—sometimes the purest love is the kind that asks for nothing in return.

 

I have already said too much but rest assured that here on Kaiso Dial we know truth when we hear it and today, as we close, we know that this  timeless message from a timeless voice needs to be heard and lived. 

 

“Just The Way You Are” — Black Stalin’s quiet masterpiece of love without conditions. A timeless reminder that real love doesn’t ask you to change. It simply sees you… and stays.

 

Crop Over drops are on the way, and we’re excited to feature “Curse” by Sheri Dan, produced by Kyle “DJ Ky” Walcott and Daniel “Harv” Harvey.
